Today, over 20,000 bee species are buzzing for #WorldBeeDay 🐝

Bees & other pollinators keep 80% of crop and wild flowering plants alive.

Yet, 1 in 10 bee, hoverfly, and butterfly species are now at risk of extinction in the EU.
Split-image with the text “TO BEE or NOT TO BEE.” The left side shows a vibrant wildflower meadow with a bee on a daisy, symbolising biodiversity and a healthy ecosystem. The right side shows a dry, barren landscape with dead trees and no visible wildlife, representing environmental degradation. An EU flag appears in the bottom right corner.

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

Wow. This Boris Johnson column about Gregg Wallace is absolutely wild.
I had the great privilege of spending a Saturday with Gregg Wallace recently. Unfortunately, I had to leave our banter fest early to attend Lord Lebedev of Siberia’s annual festive soiree. So I missed the moment the media began a concerted campaign to discredit the barrow boy turned plucky pudding evaluator. At one point during our game of Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia, Gregg turned and looked at me through his full-rimmed Silhouette varifocals: ‘Do middle-class women of a certain age have it in for you?’ he asked probingly as he consolidated Alfred the Great’s victory over the Danelaw at the Battle of Edington. If by ‘women of a certain age’ you mean ‘totty half my own’ then look, I told him, I have always found them very kindly and friendly and polite – until that is, you get one pregnant and they start making ceaseless demands about maintenance and remembering your children’s birthdays, and names and the like. Poor Gregg. This is no misogynist, or hubristic grocer turned gourmet. This is a 60-year-old man who had the sheer guts and resilience to get out there, day in, day out, and eat desserts between Marcus Wareing and Monica Galetti while occasionally making a wildly inappropriate comment. Predictably the left-wing establishment are throwing everything at him, including umpteen remarkably similar reports of the same behaviour, in a shameful and counter-productive attempt to keep his working-class palate off our screens. And never has the expression ‘Let he has not ruined everyone else’s deconstructed roast pork belly with chargrilled peach salsa with chauvinistic overtures, cast the first peach stone’ been truer. We are at a crossroads. We can keep going with the hair-shirted miserabilism of women who believe they have some sort of inalienable right to go through life without being demeaned and objectified by their inferiors. Or we can listen to Gregg. Yes, the estuary epicurean is a bit unreconstructed, like those deconstructed Eton Messes he’s sound fond of sampling. But I say, don’t listen to what he says, or the parodies of what he says. Look at what he does. Which is coordinating the Saxon reoccupation of London whilst weathering the Great Heathen Army and increasingly irate calls from his PR team. Gregg is in the shape of his life and he doesn’t mind letting people know it. Will he want to go down as the first factory inspector on the Beeb to be thwarted by women of a certain age? I just can’t see it. The astonishing events of the last week have proved one thing. This man is a supreme competitor. And when the cakes are burned, he remains the only man on national television with the courage and tenacity to keep sampling them.

I had a running argument with someone at work. I insisted you need to parboil potatoes for 10 minutes to get the best roasties. They insisted you didn't. This went on for the entirety of her 18 month contract. I specifically didn't renew their contract as I'm right.

The BBC decided not to mention Netanyahu's arrest warrant.

Because it isn't news, it is brainwashing for the billionaires who control it.

Important context here:

● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)

● "a big farm" is 217 acres.

Now let's see who's angry:

● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

Jeremy Clarkson, who owes his fame & fortune in large part to the BBC, sneers at the brilliant @vicderbyshire.bsky.social for being ‘classic BBC’ when she uses *his own words* to describe his position.
bbcnewsnight.bsky.social BBC Newsnight @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social · Nov 19
“So it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social speaks to Jeremy Clarkson at the farmers’ protest in Westminster where thousands of farmers are protesting the government’s inheritance tax plans.
